I like the second image better than the first. I have tried to take a photo of a mallard duck coming straight toward me on several occasions and I have not had much success. My photo showed various parts of the bird looking very plastic and I see some of the plastic look on the leading edge of the your birds wings.
The second photo has nice detail in the splash and on the birds. The foreground has nice reflections of the birds in the water. The background is concern and I think it has too much white. I would darken it and that would highlight the birds and the splash. Nice image. |

Nice composition of the sky,the mountains, the foreground all with the rule of thirds.
Gaetan's comment on keystoning is apparent although I am at loss as how to correct it. |

This painter is standing below some structures that cast interesting shadows across the painter. I like the strong contrast between the yellow sweat shirt and the shadows formed by the structure behind and above the painter. The shadows have nice tones and the painter looks like he is going to take a bite of his finger. |

Gaetan,
You have taken a nice photo and it depicts exactly what you describe. I would crop out the bridge and the lower right corner, the dark green leaves. It would leave the two main colors that complement each other, the greens and the browns.
The water feature is very nice, the colors show the topsoil in the water well.
I like the separation from the mainstream to the splashed umbrella effect and the colors that came out of the splash. you nailed that water feature!

Nice capture of nature and all that matters is you liked it! Some days that's all that matters. Forget all the technical settings and what to do in post processing.
I always thought fresh clean water was needed for a bath.
I wouldn't change a thing! Just enjoy! |

Tom,
I like your choice of supportive subjects, 1 actor(candle) and all the related supporting actors. Light painting takes a lot of practice,practice and more practice.
I have a few comments that I have picked up while I practiced. Avoid high contrast between subjects and supportive subjects. The lit candle is very bright, I would try it with an unlit candle. I like having supportive subjects overlapping slightly, you will have experiment on this one. Example, eyeglasses with case a little closer and overlapped. Post cards slightly overlapped. I like how how the pen points to the post cards. Some things work better when separated like your ink pot and lid.
Harold Ross is one of the best on light painting and you might want to google his name. One of his themes is "Rake the light" and I find that very important. Others, like to paint with small circles. Experiment here.
Another item for research is diffusers to soften light.
Avoid light reflections that reflect back into your lens. Angle of reflection equals angle of incidence is one to watch.
I will be watching for some of your ideas coupled with your photo background!
Great Start!
